Mindfulness isn’t just about silent rooms and long meditations—it can be practical, accessible, and fit into the hectic life of a dispatcher.

We are trained for the call types, the codes, what units to send, and so much more — months of training. But even with the best programs and trainers, it's difficult to prepare anyone for the stress that comes with this important, life-saving work. The stress doesn't clock out when we leave the center.

Inviting California agencies to host Dispatch Wellness trainings. If your agency has a conference or training room that can comfortably seat 30 people and you would like to offer your dispatchers training, I'd love to offer this opportunity to your team. All courses are California POST-Certified.

With both virtual and in-person options, topics include dispatcher wellness and customer service, ensuring every participant gains valuable skills and insights. Classes are open to all dispatchers, regardless of state or center, and offer California POST credits where applicable. For more information and registration, visit dispatchwellness.com.

Enter for a chance to win a Team Building Session for your center.

This week we celebrate the work, heart, and effort of dispatchers across the country!

In honor of NPSTW, I am offering 100 free course registrations across all one-day Dispatch Wellness courses. There's still time to claim a free spot.

Confession: It is a real conscious effort for me "to keep it simple." What I mean is that soon after I embark on a new task/project/habit ... I WANT TO DO MORE.

Q&A about the 21-Day Movement Challenge

If it hadn’t been for Plan B, I would have probably said, “I’ll start tomorrow.” I know this because I have said it many times before. This observation is made not as a dis to my past self but rather as an acknowledgment that when we don’t have a Plan B, and our days don’t go as planned, we are usually left abandoning the new habits we are building (like walking for ten minutes).

A Free 21-Day Challenge to Reengage With Movement.

"We are enough just as we are, and we are seeking growth" can be a lovely motto for an individual, a unit, or an entire organization.

We grieve their loss and honor their service forever. #OnThisMemorialDayAndAlways #MemorialDay2025

Hi there! It has been a while since I last communicated. The truth is all my projects were placed on pause (including my much-anticipated podcast, which has now been slotted for December 2025).
